 Re: Trying to Download VoD from CBC Sports / CBC Olympics for Rio 2016
Alright, I finally got AdobeHDS.php to work properly with the NBC Olympics site for a test file I did of one of the Judo replays (which was close to 3 hours long). I'll try beach volleyball next. Thanks to ehurdler (2nd post in this thread) and everyone else on here for the explanation and diagnostics of this process throughout this entire thread. I got it to work for the video file, the audio file, and the FFMPEG function to merge the video/audio together. It helped that I had FFMPEG experience before.
I have two questions however:
1.) I use this code:
php AdobeHDS.php --quality 7000 --manifest "" --delete
With the word "delete" at the end, but the 7000 quality (1080p) version is saved as one file, which is good, but the bad thing is that all the 2,000 fragments are also still showing in my AdobeHDS folder as well. Isn't the --delete function in the code above supposed to delete the fragments once the full large (8 GB) file has completely been merged/downloaded from all the fragements? It's a pain to have to go back into the folder and scroll with the mouse to highlight all of them to delete them. I know that's picky, but I would love to eliminate having to do this, if possible. Thanks.
Also ....
2.) Can we use the same code function above to download two separate NBC Olympics programs at the same time (in two separate command prompt windows of course) ???
I would love to set up a batch in which I'm downloading multiple NBC Olympics files (even more than two) at the same time, while it's running in the other room, or overnight. Is that recommended? I know it would slow it down, but who cares if it's overnight and then I wake up in the morning and all of them are right there.
Please feel free to let me know your thoughts in what you recommend for both of these questions.
Thanks again.
